This was my third GD concert and my memories of the music are very nice. I look forward to listening to the recordings to hear it for the first time since,
...
with more educated ears. The main reason for contributing the review is to share the ancillary memories.
The concert took place on a rainy Saturday afternoon -- heck, it was Portland OR, it's often rainy. We got there late after a pre-concert party the night before. We completely missed David Bromberg's opening act. The next up were McGuinn, Clark, and Hillman. They played their one big hit, "Don't You Write Her Off," and then swung into old Byrds classics. During "Eight Miles High" I saw Phil Lesh boogying away, off to stage right!
All this time it was still drizzling with constant overcast throughout the MGH set and during the change of equipment after MGH left the stage. Then the Dead took the stage. My recollection is that as they led off with "Jack Straw," the clouds parted and sunlight streamed onto the stage and the appreciative crowd. Only at a Grateful Dead concert...

My second show, but the first for which I was familiar with the music - so in some ways, my first show. Funny, I remember it being a tad damp, but the
...
rain didn't seem like any impediment at all to this native Portlander, nor to our crew. I don't have a high personal show count - saw this band only something like 30 times. But every damn time it was like being in the presence of Titans. No matter what I had or hadn't eaten, the feeling was there - an excitement and thrill mixed with the greatest deep respect and awe for these giants of music and culture. And this is the day it started for me. Liked Brent immediately. Anyway, ya, this show sounds kinda average compared to other shows, but pretty good for a lazy Saturday afternoon. But there's some good stuff too: LLR has a great JG solo, (marred by low lead gtr. mix level - kinda problematic much of the show. Was this recorded from Weir's side of the field?); Miracle rocks righteously as does Good Lovin'. Standing on tiptoes for the big solo in Estimated. Thanks.

The lineup looked so good:
David Bromberg
McGuinn, Clark & Hillman
The Grateful Dead
The elements were not very cooperative; it ... was a wet day. The security guards would not let me take in our tent poles so I had to leave and then later hand them through the fence, but it cost me an extra ticket to get back in. We set up our North Face Oval Intention dome tent and had the opportunity to take turns getting out of the rain.
Lowell George had died the night before and Bobby starts the second set with dedicating this next song (I Need a Miracle) to Lowell; Weir's comment didn't feel right as he said "He was good while he lasted."
This show was just too mundane and the day was misrable so we just could not get inspired.
The next day in Seattle was much better.

This is a good Front of board. It was a good show that day with David Bromberg opening the day and Mcginn, Clark, and Hillman playing before the Dead.
...
It was an overcast day with sun finally breaking though the clouds during the Other One.
